Chapter 5148 Eternal Divine Runes
Blades of flame raged within the cauldron, and Long Chen felt like a medicinal ingredient inside a pill furnace, waiting to be refined. Trapped within the Earth Cauldron replica, with no way out, anyone else would have long since despaired. But Long Chen remained calm.
With a steady breath, he formed hand seals, igniting his dragon blood, seven-color Supreme Blood, and violet blood. The combined essence formed a blazing flame barrier around him, with countless dragon runes flowing across its surface, shielding him from the intense heat.
As the flame blades slashed onto the shield, they exploded, transforming into pure flame runes. These runes were absorbed by the barrier and then flowed into Long Chen’s body, strengthening him further.
Next, lightning blades descended with the power of heavenly tribulation. Sensing the danger, Lei Linger instantly transformed into a lightning shield, joining forces with Huo Linger to protect Long Chen from the relentless assault.
The energy of the Heavenly Flames and heavenly tribulation carried a berserk, violent will, but after being processed by Lei Linger and Huo Linger, only their purest essence entered Long Chen's body.
As this essence poured into him, new runes started to appear on his Spirit Blood, Spirit Root, and Spirit Bone. Though only a small portion of these runes manifested, they radiated immense Eternal energy.
These were Eternal runes, the foundation of an Eternal expert and the future source of his power. Once they appeared, they rapidly grew, nourished by the energy of lightning and flame.
Within just a few breaths, the Eternal runes grew and multiplied until they numbered in the thousands, weaving together into the shape of a leaf. The Earth Cauldron was startled to see that.
“This is...”
The moment the leaf appeared, a torrent of lightning and flame energy poured into Long Chen. The leaf quivered, seemingly unable to absorb so much energy at once.
“The heavenly tribulation isn’t giving you time to absorb the energy! It’s going to burst your Eternal runes!” warned the Earth Cauldron.
In response, Long Chen swiftly formed a series of hand seals, and a sacred white dragon image materialized on his palms. This was the white dragon race’s communication art and one of their top-secret arts. Bai Yingxue had taught him this technique.
Beneath the Earth Cauldron replica, Bai Yingxue, who had been anxiously waiting, suddenly sensed the connection and quickly formed her own hand seals. A dragon rune appeared on her forehead, and through it, she managed to glimpse what was happening within the Earth Cauldron replica.
“Form the Dragon Saint Spirit Formation!” Bai Yingxue shouted.
Following her orders, the white dragon race’s experts spread out into a formation, forming a massive, coiling dragon shape from above.
“Ten thousand laws return to the source - White Dragon Saint Spirit Formation!” Bai Yingxue’s voice echoed with authority.
In response, all the white dragon race disciples blazed with light, and pillars of radiant energy soared into the sky, converging into the Earth Cauldron replica’s bottom.
The Earth Cauldron replica quivered, and then a torrent of flame energy and tribulation energy poured down upon the white dragon race disciples.
“This is...!” Feng You, Hu Xiaoyu, and the others were shocked as they were suddenly immersed in a flood of pure thunderforce and Heavenly Flame energy.
To their amazement, this energy carried no destructive aura. They could freely absorb as much of it as they could, feeling their strength rapidly increase.
“Big brother Long Chen was thinking about us from the start!” Hu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but cry out. She knew that this was a special treatment. Compared to the experts undergoing tribulation in the outside world, they were incredibly blessed.
They didn’t need to do anything, yet they were receiving the purest heavenly tribulation energy and Heavenly Flame energy. At this moment, Hu Xiaoyu was so excited that she almost wept.
“Everyone, absorb as much as you can, or Long Chen will be in danger!” exclaimed Bai Yingxue.
Hearing that absorbing this energy could help Long Chen, no one stood on courtesy. They directly started to inhale this energy as quickly as possible.
BOOM!
Just as Feng You was absorbing this energy, the void behind her erupted, and a divine ring appeared.
“Big sister, your Heavenly Fate Disk!” Hu Xiaoyu cried out in shock. The divine ring quickly condensed into a Heavenly Fate Disk.
But before she could fully process what had happened, the void behind her also exploded, and a Heavenly Fate Disk appeared for her as well, leaving her stunned. She had also become a Heavenly Chosen? She could hardly believe her eyes.
It wasn’t just Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu. As the white dragon race’s disciples absorbed the energy, Heavenly Fate Disks started to appear one after another, marking their transformation into Heavenly Chosen.
This scene stunned Bai Yingxue. She hadn’t expected the energy that Long Chen had left for them to be such a tremendous blessing. But then, it made sense—Long Chen had seized half of the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone’s energy, the strongest and purest portion. This energy was unimaginable in its potency.
The white dragon race’s disciples innately possessed sacred energy, which made it easier for them to awaken Doyen power. However, due to the race’s challenging situation, they lacked sufficient resources, leaving many disciples unable to awaken their Heavenly Fate Disks.
Now, the energy purified by Lei Linger and Huo Linger poured into everyone, and they absorbed it eagerly. This energy seeped into their bodies, awakening their buried talents.
In truth, the white dragon race’s disciples had Lu Fan to thank for this unexpected blessing. Previously, Lu Fan had extracted their sacred bloodline power to detonate the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone. However, Long Chen had managed to pull that bloodline power back out of the Sourcestone.
Having passed through the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, their power had formed a slight resonance with the energy within it, which resulted in this energy pouring into them so easily.
Suddenly, a blood-colored rock appeared above Feng You’s head. This was the phoenix marrow that Long Chen had bought for her. It materialized on its own and then exploded into a blood-colored divine radiance.
Within this divine radiance, an ancient phoenix appeared, spreading its wings and absorbing the energy of the heavenly tribulation.
The sudden changes on the white dragon race’s side enraged the experts outside. Seeing them becoming Heavenly Chosens like popping firecrackers, an expert from the devil race could no longer contain their rage and charged through the endless lightning beasts to attack.
